Well yeah but since Audi bought them they actually have decent guts as opposed to just being really pretty show ponies.

The Aventador was an R8 with a really good bodykit and there was NOTHING bad about that, it was the first Lambo in a long time that could actually take a corner at speed.

Not really.. the first generation R8 was offered with a choice of V8 and V10 engines versus aventador which comes with a v12 option only. Nor does the R8 have the carbon fiber tub or the suspension of the aventador.

The Gallardo was the rebodied R8. The Aventador is a true bonkers Lamborghini.
